Creating a Service

A Service is a single, stand alone appointment with a duration and a cost. All appointments booked on your schedule will be tied to a service, whether they are part of a series or a package. Your Service Menu must contain at least one service in order for you or your staff to book appointments on your business' schedule. To add your services:

1. Navigate to your Business tab.

2. Select Setup.

3. Select Service Menu.

4. Select either the In Office Services or Traveling Services tab.

5. Select Add New > Service.

6. Complete the following fields:

Type of Service (required): The category that the service falls under. Each category and the services that fall under it will display separately on your public Service Menu, allowing clients to easily view the variety of Services that you provide.
